HD-LUX™
liquid coatings
OVERVIEW
The heavy-duty liquid coating solution
Depending on the end product, rust and corrosion can occur. Corrosion is due to a chemical reaction between metal and its environment, causing changes in the metal’s properties which often damage the metal. Coating the product with a durable anti-corrosion system is a very important part to ensure a long-lasting product.
HD-LUX™ waterborne and solvent-borne products for heavy-duty applications need superior protection from the elements with high corrosion resistance capabilities.
HD-LUX™ products are based on unique non-isocyanate technology. They are designed to deliver good gloss and color retention with a durable finish.
HD-LUX™ is formulated to be quick-drying and to be durable in extreme environments.
MAIN FEATURES
- Dramatically increases the lifespan of products by reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
- Superior anti-corrosion properties.
- One coating system without a need for a primer.
- Prevents moisture from reaching the substrate.
- Excellent scratch and chemical resistance.
- It can be combined with some other Protech Group coating features.
